Is it possible to control VST's using midi notes? There are various plugins that require midi notes to control them. How do I do this in ACID 6?

No, ACID does not support sending MIDI to VST FX.

If I'm using NI's Pro-53 or the likes as a plug-in, I can use the "learn" function to assign a CC to the effect parameters, thus controlling the effects in the soft synth.

Will this be introduced in the future? Without this capability ACID 6 is unable to use certain pitch, vocal ensemble, delay and granular effects etc. This is a real shame because they are incredibly useful for dance music.

I'm referring to something different. VST effects that can be controlled by midi notes can create complex tempo based effect patterns among other things. Pitch can be manipulated with midi notes which can produce very interesting sounds.

This feature will be considered in a future version, but will not appear in ACID 6.
